Many Chelsea fans have reacted after former Manchester United player Nemanja Vidic was voted the Premier League’s greatest centre-back in a Sky Sports poll in which more than 200,000 people voted.
Vidic, who played 211 times in the English top flight, was voted ahead of the likes of teammate Rio Ferdinand and Liverpool’s Virgil van Dijk. However, it’s the omission of Chelsea legend John Terry which has riled Blues supporters.
Terry, now an assistant coach at Aston Villa, remains a legend at Stamford Bridge, having made just eight shy of 500 Premier League outings whilst winning a plethora of silverware in a prestigious career.
The former Chelsea captain wasn’t even part of the top four in the votes, as ex-Manchester City defender Vincent Kompany also finished ahead of Terry in the poll.
These Blues fans have had their say…
